Mettle Ops Awarded Project Proteus Contract to Support U.S. Army Combat Vehicle Development

MADISON HEIGHTS, MI - Mettle Ops has been awarded a contract to develop Project Proteus, a physical turret prototype that will support the U.S. Army's XM30 combat vehicle platform. This project will provide a platform for developing, maturing, and verifying new technologies to address emerging capability needs for the XM30 program.

Under the agreement, Mettle Ops will build and deliver the Proteus prototype, establish a laboratory environment for testing, and provide technical documentation and support services. The prototype will serve as a key enabler for the XM30 software pathway program by providing a physical environment on which to deploy new software and hardware capabilities.

"We are honored to be selected for the Project Proteus program," said Katie Bigelow, Chief Executive Officer of Mettle Ops. "This opportunity allows us to leverage our engineering expertise to support the Army's XM30 combat vehicle platform. This project will allow for demonstration and testing of innovative technologies that are critical to our nation's defense capabilities and the preservation of our warfighters on the battlefield."

The project includes options for new technology assessments and integrations, allowing for the evaluation and incorporation of emerging technologies onto the Proteus platform. The laboratory environment established by Mettle Ops will accommodate the prototype and engineering teams conducting testing and integration activities.

Mettle Ops will utilize advanced Model-Based Systems Engineering practices and will work within the Army's Digital Acquisition Environment to manage technical data and configuration of the prototype.
